Audiences around the world are bringing the spirit of Muir into their communities, with a little help from actor – and Muir scholar – Lee Stetson.

Lee’s portrayal of John Muir has been presented in Yosemite National Park since 1983, to hundreds of thousands of visitors. Additionally, his Muir presentations have toured worldwide to universities, parks, museums, wilderness and environmental organizations from Washington D.C. to Hawaii, from Japan to Scotland.

The S.S. Wilderness Discoverer carries only 76 happy guests, providing an intimate, friendly and comfortable exploration of Alaska. She’s capable of nimble sailing into far reaches of the Alaskan wilderness, and is equipped with kayaks, paddle boards, skiffs and a portable activity launch platform for added explorations, providing for close up encounters with whales and wildlife, and has every agreeable amenity.
